    Help Apps closing for no reason

    So today some apps started closing for no reason. I'll open an app and it will close right away. Some background apps will continue to close as well.

    I cannot connect to any data connection

    What is lost when resetting phone to factory

    My phone is actually an LG Escape 3. I've had it for over a year now and really like it, but it's slowing down and freezing on occasion. I figure it's time to reset it, but I'm concerned about what I'll lose. Will I lose all my contacts and texts? Is there a way to back them up? Anything else I...

    Prevent apps from running

    I have an LG Escape 3 running Marshmallow. I use AVG Ultimate, and it kills background apps no problem, but they just load right back up. How can I stop them. I think I have too many apps running in the background and believe it's draining my battery quicker. Thanks

    Random reboots on LG Escape 3

    My phone has started to randomly reboot once or twice a day. It has done it when answering a call and also when opening the text app, so there doesn't appear to be a common cause. I'm running Android Marshmallow. Any ideas on how to identify the issue aside from a factory reset? Thank you. Lou

    Help Epic 4G not showing up in my computer

    I plug my Epic 4G into my laptop with the supplied cable and do the whole USB mass storage thing and it doesn't show up in my computer. I installed the drivers from Samsung. Now, the computer is obviously seeing the phone because it installs the modem, which I can see in Device Manager. I've...
